Rock types blog post.

1.Rock cycle
Rock cycle is The rock cycle is the natural process in which rocks transform from one rock type into another rock type over time. The magma comes out from the volcano. The lava solidification then becomes igneous rocks. The rocks break to a little pieces by weathering, the piece of rocks are called sediments. The sediments erosion by the water and compaction with other sediments in water then they cementation and becomes sedimentary rocks. The rocks gets heat and pressure from the earth and changes the form, this is called metamorphic rocks. Any types of the rocks can be liquidation into magma. The process repeat again and again, this is rock cycle.

2.Rocks - Vocabulary.
Metamorphic rocks is when heat and pressure gets into it.

Magma/lava is melted rocks.

Solidification is when rocks gets cools and becomes hard.

Igneous rocks is when magma/lava gets cools.

Weathering is when rocks break by water. wind.

Erosion is rocks moved by water.

Sediment is piece of rock.

Compaction is when rocks gets together.

Cementation is when sediments glue together.

Sedimentary rock is form by sediments compaction and cementation.

3.Rock types

Igneous rock-
Intrusive

Extrusive

Sedimentary rocks-
Clastic

Bioclastic

Crystalline

Metamorphic rock-
Foliated

Non-Foliated

Crystals and Minerals blog post.

1.Crystals
  In science class, I learned that how rocks are formed. Rocks are formed by heat and dissolve in water. different mineral has different properties, like the cleavage, luster, color, composition, and hardness. I also learned how to defined a mineral by using the properties.
What I did in the lab was choose 2 types of the mineral that I want to make, and put water into the big cup, and turn on the machine, and we put powdered into it, until the water was totally saturated. We put the liquid into the beaker,then put the beaker under the sunlight.

2.mineral properties.
color- the color that you can perceive when you look at the mineral.

luster- metallic or Non-metallic.

Metallic- look like metal.

Non-metallic- does not look like a metal.

fracture- break unevenly.

cleavage- break evenly.

hardness- how hard or soft.
Hard- scratch the glass plate(5.5)

soft- does not scratch the glass plate.

composition- Chemical structure.


Mineral identification.

Name: Talc
Luster: Non-metallic
color: white
hardness:1
cleavage.

Name: Pyrite
Luster: Metallic
color: brassy yellow
Fracture
